En Primeur | Domaine de Courcel 2019

This domaine has been in the family since the 17th century. Gilles de Courcel, having retired from Beaune négociant Chanson, is now happily spending more time at the family estate in Pommard. The winemaking is in the safe hands of Yves Confuron whose own family domaine is in Vosne Romanée. Domaine de Courcel is known for its late picking. Whether due to their vine clones or pruning techniques, the Courcel vineyards always take longer to ripen than many of their neighbours in the village. Their reputation is for making wines for the long term that are traditional in style and high in quality. In their youth they remain more backward than many, but in time they evolve to give some of the very finest mature Pinot flavours of any producer in the Côte d’Or.

Yves Confuron is entirely comfortable waiting until most of his neighbours have packed up their harvesting equipment before setting foot in the de Courcel vineyards. As always in 2019 he was one of the last to pick in the Côte and with no rain forecast he was under no pressure at all. These wines are extraordinarily intense, with huge long-term potential. The powerful flavours and robust tannic core of these 2019s make them an excellent choice for laying down. Be patient and they will develop amazing mature Pommard personality.
